WALTER TUPPSTEDT, OF BERNIE, SWITZERLAND.

VAPOR-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 22, 1909.

Application filed September 18, 1908. Serial No. 453,676.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WVALTER TUPPSTEDT, a subject of the German Emperor, residing at Berne, Switzerland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vapor- Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention which relates to a gas range made in any desired shape, size and arrangement, chiefly consists of a fuel vap orizer and a main burner, the former arranged above the latter and opening into gas accumulators arranged at the sides of the range. These accumulators may feed any desired number of cooking burners and are connected to the same and to the vaporizer and the main burner by pipes which can be obturated, the main burner being regulatable. The arrangement of the parts is such that water tanks heated by the radiated heat may be provided above the accumulators and at each side of the vaporizer.

A construction of a gas-range employing alcohol and fitted up according to this invention, is illustrated in the accompanying drawing wherein Figure l is a front elevation, partly in section; Fig. 2 a plan view showing the alcohol gas-range, and Fig. 3 a vertical crosssection. Fig. 4 is a detail view of the regu- Figs. 5 and 6 show in section two different positions of threeway cocks arranged between the conduit of the vaporizer and the burners supplied from the same.

1 is the main burner arranged under the cooking chamber 3 which can be closed by means of a door 2, and consists of a central filling pipe at with heating ribs 5 radially arranged on the same. At the bottom end of the filling pipe 4: are provided openings 6 through which the fuel can get into the remaining space or to the heating ribs 5. 7 are the burner openings or the passage openings for the fuel gases generated, which have first to pass through the slots 8 of a transverse ring 9 of the crown of the burner.

Above the ring 9 is situated a rotatable ring 11 provided with corresponding passage slots 10 and capable of being adjusted from the outside by means of a part 12 (Fig. 1) in such manner that more or less gas can pass to the burner openings 7, whereby the flame can be made smaller or larger and thus the heating action regulated.

of the range is a similar burner which is.

concealed by the front plate and the door Above the fuel burner 1, or above the cooking space 3, is provided a vaporizer 15 heated by the heat developed by the burner l and the burners 1 1. The gases developed in the vaporizer l5 escape through the pipes 16 into the main pipe 17 which at the same time forms a protecting bar for the range. The vaporizer 15 is fed through the filling pipe .2 which can be closed in an air-tight manner. 00 indicates the water tanks. The gases from the main pipe pass through the threeway cocks 18 either to the burners 19 of the upper cooking plate 20 by way of the pipes 19 or by way of the pipes 22 through the pipe 21 to the gas accumulators 22.

The accumulators 22 are connected to the burner l by means of pipes 24: provided with stop-cocks 23, and the burners let communicate with the accumulators by means of pipes 25. These pipes are provided with cocks 26 and signaling safety valves 27, and the end of the pipe 25 situated in the accumulators 22 projects, moreover, to some distance above the bottom of said accumulator. In case of an excess of pressure, the safety valve 27 opens and gives a signal indicating that the cook 26 must be opened. The fuel which may condense in the accumulators 22, can be discharged into the fuel chamber of the main burner by opening the cocks 23.

For starting the range, it is merely necessary to pour fuel into the central filling pipe 4 and to ignite it. Owing to the generation of heat and to the consequent heating of the ribs 5, the fuel contained in the chamber of the burner 1 is evaporated, and the gases thus produced escape through the openings 7 and become ignited. The heating flame is thus produced and eventually owing to the same the vaporizer 15 is also made operative.

\Vhat I claim is 1. A vaporizing device, comprising a fuel vaporizer and a main burner, the former arranged above the latter, a gas acelunulator connected to said vaporizer and to .said burner, a cooking burner, and a pipe connection between the same and said accumulator.

2. A vaporizing device comprising a fuel vaporizer and a main burner, the former a'rranged abox e the latter, a gas accumulator, pipes connecting said accumulator to said vaporizer and to said main burner, a cooking burner, a pipe connection between said accumulator and said cooking burner, and means for .adjustably regulating the size of the burner openings of the main burner.

A vaporizing device comprising a fuel 'aporizer, a gas accumulator, a burner connected to the gas accumulator, a main pipe, an accumulator pipe, connections between said main pipe and said accumulator pipe, a series of burners disposed adjacent the vaporizer, connections between each of said last mentioned burners and said main pipe, and valve means for causing the flow of fuel from said main pipe to said last mentioned burners, or to said accumulator pipe.

4. .A vaporizing device, comprising a fuel vaporizer and a main burner, the former arranged above the latter, a gas accumulator, valved pipes connecting said gas accumulater to said vaporizer and to said main burner, a cooking burner, and a valved pipe connection between said cooking burner and said accumulator.

in testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
